Summary
When the unsentimental financial imperative of the NHL sees Shane traded to the Boston Raiders, he and Ilya are thrown into closer extended proximity than ever before. As they adjust to life as teammates, they are forced to contend with the nature of their relationship -and must answer for themselves: is it even a relationship at all?
____Sliding down the wall, Shane hunched over his untied sneakers, shoved on hastily when Coach had called him in for a meeting after morning skate.
“Boston wanted you specifically. I’ve already spoken to their GM. You’re flying this evening or tomorrow morning: I’ll confirm once the paperwork clears.”
“Mom,” Shane managed.
“Oh sweetie. I know, okay. Those fuckers, how dare they do this! Two fucking cups! Now all of a sudden they decide they want a reset and you’re going to fund it.”
Shane put his head between his knees and tried to breathe. God, Boston. They hated him there; it was so far away; he was fucking their captain.

Summary
Panic begins to run through his veins, speeding up his pulse and his breathing. “I can’t– why don’t I remember it? I don’t remember any of it.”
Mike blanches. “Any of what, Will?”
Jonathan’s hand is on his knee. Both of them are too close. He can’t breathe.
“The Upside Down. I… I can’t remember any of the Upside Down.”

Summary
He’s twenty-two in his room in the dark, holding the Christmas lights close to his chest, waiting, wishing, hoping, praying for anything.
The lights flicker.
Mike should call Nancy, he should call his sponsor, he should call Lucas, he should call Dustin, he should call Jonathan, he should call Max, he should call Jane, and he should call his mom.
He should call anyone for help, tell them it’s getting bad again, call for anyone except for who he does-
“Will?” He calls out, voice shaking, strangled, a question and a prayer.
The room glows.or: Will Byers died in 1983, Mike Wheeler lost it. Ten years later he's talking to the lights again (nothing is really as it seems)
